President Biden on Tuesday announced he will be visiting Vietnam “shortly” during remarks at a campaign fundraiser, not elaborating on details about his upcoming trip.

“I’m going to be going to Vietnam shortly because Vietnam wants to change our relationship and become a partner,” Biden told a group of donors in New Mexico. “We find ourselves in a situation where all these changes around the world are taking place at a time—we have an opportunity…to change the dynamic.”

He was discussing in his remarks that “allegiances are changing around the world” as a result of the war in Ukraine.

John Kerry told him, “You know, I was in Vietnam.”

Well, Joe managed to avoid Vietnam back in the day, so I guess he is going now to prove what a tough guy he is.
I wonder if he will take Hanoi Jane with him.

Biden will visit Vietnam as soon as President Wilson announces on the TV that the Vietnam War is over and his medal of honor son, Beau, can come home.

Not likely. Let’s be real:

Remember when we were kicked out of Subic Bay and the Philippines thought China was their new best friend?

Now that the Chinese dragon had shown its teeth, all the little Southeastern Asian nations have decided that the Eagle is better than either the Bear or the Dragon.

I expect that the Solomons will reassess their newest friendship soon, too.

This is the same as the European countries. With friends like that….

One of the most pro-capitalist countries on the planet.

The government understands that, and lets it go, as long as folks there don’t rock the boat too much and threaten their power.

It’s authoritarian, but then again, so is Singapore.

The Folks that served in Vietnam were nothing more than slaves. They were lied to and used as pawns. You will notice the leaders nevered paid close to the price these honorable folks did. I was discharged before the War became official but I never forget to thank all that I dealt with after I left. As a State Troopers I always gave thanks to the young folks I dealt with upon their return home.

“President Biden on Tuesday announced he will be visiting Vietnam “shortly”..”

Lot’s of other guys “visited” Vietnam too years ago. Thousands either didn’t come back or came back in pieces in a box. Meanwhile this puke was muddling his way through various schools. What a “leader”.

I know there were bribes to be taken from China and from Ukraine.

But Vietnam? How does going to Vietnam put $$$$ in Joe’s pocket?

Bidens would be shaking down street bums if they thought they could get away with it.
